New Streator City Council member Jacob Darby wants to focus on downtown commerce and perhaps making outlying subdivisions part of the city. That doesn’t mean he’s going to take charge and try to annex them right away.
Darby manages the Streator Eagle 6 movie theater and works in computer technology. The Streator City Council appointed him to fill a vacancy after former commissioner Tara Bedei became the mayor. Darby can run for election to the seat next year.
